Where was Jesus born? 3 in 3 academics don't know.
Daily Mail
A shock report has shown alarming levels of ignorance about the birthplace of Jesus in academics and theologian. According to one leading bible scholar "While both the gospels of Matthew and Luke do indeed portray the birth of Jesus; there are such wide contradictions between the stories and implausibilities that neither of them can be fully relied on to give factual biographical data as to the birthplace of Jesus; therefore on the available evidence, we have to say that we cannot say, with any accuracy, where Jesus was born"
Top Tory, Mark Pritchard, has blamed this on "Political Correctness" or something.
In further Christmas news, Birmingham City Council is under fire for renaming Christmas "Winterval" nine years ago. Said Top Tory Mark Pritchard "For Birmingham City Council to do something nine years ago is a shocking example of the way things are now.". Meanwhile Jack Straw commented "I think that Birmingham City Council should seriously reconsider this thing they did nine years ago and never repeated". Muslim & Jewish groups have also united to condemn the thing done nine years ago and never repeated as absurd. Said Rabbi Lionel Blue "Jews are not offended by the celebration of Christmas and therefore this decision, taken about nine years ago and not repeated, should not taken. Which it hasn't. But if it has then it shouldn't be. Which it isn't. Anyway, this reminds of an amusing story"
Speaking exclusively to the Cavy, a clearly very bored spokesman for Birmingham City Council said "Yeah! Yeah! We've banned the world Christmas and you can only say Winterval. And there's ten years of hard labour in a reeducation camp in Siberia if you wear a silly paper hat out of a cracker. Now fuck off!"

I reckon Jesus was born in Digbeth Bus Sation, Birmingham City Centre!! Well as good a place as any :>)
Its difficult. I know 1 Jehovahs witness who cannot celebrate Christmas as its considered too Pagan by him. At work we have three practising Muslims two who do not do Christmas at all and another who happily does the Christmas card thing. My brother in law was born Muslim but is not religious and when working in London actually prepared in a Halal shop turkeys which were bought by Jewish persons and Muslims who just liked to celebrate the day as a day not a religious thing in their own way.
